Default my $8 heat shield... lol

ok so today i went to home depot and just picked up a 8$ roll of aluminum to make a heat shield. didnt really go into it with a plan just kinda started cutting. i know it might not be the best design but it has to be better than the stock one. oh yeah and i added a little message on there from the heat shield to the turbo......
sorry for the camera phone pics




lol, let me know what you think

Nice but pics are a little too small.

Hope the turbo dont take that the wrong way and send you the same message!

you'll want to use some sort of insulation as well as the aluminum, aluminum by itself is not a great heat insulator. once the turbo soaks that thin sheet of aluminum, it might as well not be there.

just my $.02

I want to get some of that material that NASA uses on the space shuttle hull and use that as a head shield!
